Algorithms, environments, theory and applications of optimization. PhD: University of Cambridge, 1989 Dr. Ferris' research is concerned with algorithmic and interface development for large scale problems in mathematical programming, including links to the GAMS and AMPL modeling languages, and general purpose software such as PATH, NLPEC and FATCOP. He has worked on several applications of both optimization and complementarity, including cancer treatment plan development, radiation therapy, video-on-demand data delivery, economic and traffic equilibria, structural and mechanical engineering. Ferris is an INFORMS fellow and received the Beale-Orchard-Hays prize from the Mathematical Programming Society and is a past recipient of a NSF Presidential Young Investigator Award, and a Guggenheim Fellowship. He serves as co-editor of Mathematical Programming, and is on the editorial boards of SIAM Journal on Optimization, Transactions of Mathematical Software, Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, and Optimization Methods and Software. |
